First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of an information processing method provided in a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are especially suitable for a situation that a. client displays captions in a real-time interactive scene. The method may be implemented by an information processing apparatus; the apparatus may be implemented in a form of software and/or hardware; and the apparatus may he configured in an electronic device, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop, or a desktop computer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing method provided in the present embodiment, applied to a client, includes:

S110, receiving a transcript and a sentence identifier of the transcript sent by a service server.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the service server may be regarded as a server that provides caption display service functions for each client. A client that has a real-time interactive communication with other clients may send a caption enabling request to the service server in an interactive communication process, so as to request the service server to feedback transcripts and sentence identifiers of the transcripts obtained by transcribing audio data uploaded by the client and other clients having interactive communications with the client. Furthermore, the client may display captions according to the received transcript and sentence identifiers of the transcript.

In the present embodiment, the service server may pull audio data. from a. streaming media server according to the caption enabling request sent by the client, and send the audio data to a real-time speech transcribing tool; the real-time speech transcribing tool is based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, which can segment audio data according to parameters of the audio data (for example, time intervals between the audio data and other parameters) to determine audio data corresponding to each sentence, and can also take audio data corresponding to a current to-be-transcribed sentence as current to-be-transcribed audio data, and perform a text transcribing operation on the current to-be-transcribed audio data which can output an intermediate transcription result; the service server obtains a transcript transcribed from the current to-be-transcribed audio data from the real-time speech transcribing tool, and the obtained transcript includes a transcript of the current to-be-transcribed audio data in a transcribing process and a transcript of complete transcription.

The caption enabling requests sent by each client may carry an identity identifier representing the client or an identifier representing a real-time interactive room such as a conference room and a live room where the client is located, and the service server may pull audio data uploaded by the client and other clients interacting with the client from the streaming media server according to the above identifier. The real-time speech transcribing tool may be provided locally by the service server or by a third-party establishing communication with the service server, and through the real-time speech transcribing tool, automatic speech recognition process may be performed on audio data stream, and sentence segmentation of the audio data stream and text transcribing operation for audio data corresponding to each sentence may be realized. The intermediate transcription result may be considered as a transcript corresponding to part of audio data, which is obtained from transcription before obtaining a transcript from transcription and corresponding to complete audio data. For example, for audio data of a sentence “today's weather is really good”, its intermediate transcription result may be a series of transcripts obtained from transcription and corresponding to part of audio data, such as “today”, “today's weather”, and “today's weather is really”, while a transcript obtained from transcription and corresponding to the complete audio data is “Today's weather is really good”.

In the present embodiment, after obtaining a transcript, the service server may further set a sentence identifier for the transcript, and the sentence identifier may uniquely identify audio data corresponding to each sentence in a specific real-time interactive scene, and may be composed of at least one element such as letters, words, numbers, and special symbols. A process of setting the sentence identifier corresponding to the transcript by the service server may be: updating the sentence identifier of the transcript according to a change of the current to-be-transcribed audio data. The service server may send the sentence identifier of the transcript to the client at the same time as the transcript.

The implementation of setting the sentence identifier by the service server may be, for example, firstly, when text transcription of the current to-be-transcribed audio data is completed, setting a updating mark of the sentence identifier:, then, when a transcript of new current to-he-transcribed audio data in a text transcribing process is obtained, updating the sentence identifier according to the updating mark, and canceling the updating mark when the sentence identifier is updated completely. For example, a sentence identifier corresponding to audio data of a first sentence is Seg1, and a sentence identifier updating mark is set after text transcription of the audio data of the first sentence is completed. Then, when a transcript corresponding to a first intermediate transcription result of audio data of a second sentence is obtained, the sentence identifier may be updated to Seg2 according to the updating mark, and the updating mark may be canceled to avoid a sentence identifier of a transcript corresponding to a next intermediate transcription result of audio data of a second sentence being updated. In other words, when a transcript of the new current to-he-transcribed audio data is obtained from a subsequent transcription in the text transcribing process, it is not necessary to update the sentence identifier.

In addition, when an obtained transcript corresponding to the new current to-be-transcribed audio data is also a transcript of complete transcription, the sentence identifier may be updated according to the updating mark, and the updating mark may be kept, Still taking the above scene as an example, if the second sentence is very short, and an obtained first transcript of the audio data of the second sentence is already a transcript of complete transcription, then at this time, in addition to updating the sentence identifier to Seg2 according to the updating mark, it is necessary to keep the updating mark, so that when a transcript corresponding to a next sentence is obtained, the sentence identifier is updated again according to the updating mark.

The updating the sentence identifier may be, for example, generating a new sentence identifier which is different from a historical sentence identifier in the specific real-time interactive scene; and when the sentence identifier includes an ordered number, for example, including a, b, c, . . . ; 1, 2, 3, . . . ; 11, etc., the sentence identifiers may also be updated in numerical order, for example, the sentence identifiers may be updated in sequence to S1, S2, S3, . . . etc. By enabling the sentence identifier to include the ordered number, it is beneficial for the client to display captions according to the numerical order of the sentence identifier, and it is convenient for the user to know correct context of each sentence, improving the user's experience of reading captions.

The implementation of updating sentence identifiers mentioned above aims to realize that “sentence identifiers of transcripts transcribed from audio data corresponding to a same sentence are the same, while sentence identifiers of transcripts transcribed from audio data corresponding to different sentences are different”, and other implementations that may achieve the same purpose mentioned above may also be applied here, which are not specifically limited herein.

S120, reading a local sentence identifier, and when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, updating a displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the client may store a sentence identifier received for the first time in a local first preset storage space; when a sentence identifier is received for the second time, all sentence identifiers read from the first preset storage space may be used as the local sentence identifier; when the sentence identifier received for the first time is the same as any sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier, the local sentence identifier is not updated; and when the sentence identifier received for the second time and each sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier are different, the sentence identifier received for the second time may be added to the first preset storage space to update the local sentence identifier. After that, the above operation may be repeated every time when the client receives a sentence identifier, so as to realize an operation of updating or not updating the local sentence identifier.

The received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, then it may be considered that there is a same sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier of the client, that is, a transcript of the same sentence identifier previously received by the client and a transcript received at this time correspond to audio data of a same sentence. The updating the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript may be updating, by the client, the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier which is identical with the received sentence identifier with the received transcript, specifically, a transcript of a caption corresponding to the identical local sentence identifier in a display control may be updated to the received transcript to realize dynamic update of the caption content,

In addition, when the sentence identifier received by the client is different from the local sentence identifier, it may be considered that the transcript previously received by the client and the transcript received at this time are transcript transcribed from audio data of different sentences. At this time, the client may display the transcript as a new caption content, and update the local sentence identifier with the received sentence identifier. Herein, when displaying the transcript as the new caption content, the client may display the transcript in any way which may be different from that of other received transcript. Specifically, in some application scenes, displaying the transcript as the new caption content may be, for example, generating a new display control for captions, and importing the received transcript into the new display control to realize displaying a new caption. When the new caption is displayed, a previous caption may slide to other positions of a client interface (for example, the previous caption scrolls upward in sequence). Moreover, a caption content in the new caption may also be updated with a transcript which is subsequently received by the client and corresponds to a same sentence identifier with the caption content. The updating, by the client, the local sentence identifier with the received sentence identifier may be, for example, adding the received sentence identifier to the local first preset storage space.

The updating displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript may be determining a difference content between the received transcript and the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier which is identical with the received sentence identifier, and updating the caption content with the difference content. Due to a streaming processing mode of audio data, a content which is transcribed first in the text transcribing process may have errors, but the errors may be corrected forward according to a content transcribed subsequently. For example, for audio data of a sentence “the studio is transparent and bright”, transcript received by the client for the first time may be “while on duty”, which may be displayed as “while on duty . . . ” when captions are displayed and a content received subsequently by the client may be “the studio is transparent”, thus when a caption content is updated, it may first be determined that differences between the received transcript and the displayed caption content corresponding to a same local sentence identifier include difference between “room” and “hour” and addition of “transparent”, and then “hour” in a displayed caption content may be changed to “room” according to the differences, and then “transparent” is added, so as to realize updating a caption content.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the updating displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript includes replacing the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript. In other words, the client may replace the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier which is identical with the received sentence identifier with the received transcript. For example, for the audio data of the sentence “today's weather is really good”, if a transcript first received by the client is “today”, a caption may be displayed as “today . . . ” when displayed; and if a transcript received subsequently is “today's weather”, a. display content may be replaced to “today's weather” when the caption is displayed. By replacing the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript, a calculation process of the client may be reduced, and updating the caption content more quickly may be realized.

Since the caption content can be dynamically updated, when displaying a corresponding transcript for audio data of a sentence, it is not necessary to wait until the audio data of the sentence is transcribed completely before displaying a transcribed transcript, instead, when a transcript corresponding to a first intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received, the transcript may be displayed through captions, and each time new transcript corresponding to an intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received, the new transcript may be used to dynamically update the captions. Therefore, latency delay of each sentence from being spoken by a speaker to being displayed as a caption may be reduced, greatly improving user experience.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the client is a client of a real-time interactive application. Herein, the real-time interactive application may include but is not limited to at least one of an instant messaging application, a multi-media conference application, a live video application and a group chat interactive application. When more than two clients are engaged in an instant communication, a multi-media conference, a group chat interaction or in a same live room, captions may be displayed for what a speaker said by the above information processing method, so as to improve real-time interaction efficiency and. interaction experience.

In the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the client receives the transcript and the sentence identifier of the transcript sent by the service server; reads the local sentence identifier, and when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, updates the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript. When the received sentence identifier of the client is the same as the local sentence identifier, the displayed caption content is replaced with the received transcript, which can realize displaying the caption when the first intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received and dynamically updating the caption content corresponding to the sentence when the subsequent intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received in the process of transcribing the audio data of the same sentence into text, which not only realizes dynamically displaying the captions of each sentence, but also reduces the latency delay of displaying the captions of each sentence, and improves the user experience

Second Embodiment

FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of an information processing method provided in a

second embodiment of the present disclosure. The present embodiment may be combined with alternatives of each information processing method. provided in the above embodiments. In the information processing method provided by the present embodiment, while receiving a transcript and a sentence identifier of the transcript sent by a service server, the client may receive a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier sent by the service server, and may display the transcript in captions with the sentence identifier and a corresponding content version serial number thereof, which may effectively avoid a situation that a caption update error is caused by updating a transcript in a lower ranking with a transcript in an upper ranking when the transcript in an upper ranking is sent to the client subsequently due to network delay and other reasons.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing method provided by the present embodiment includes:

S210, receiving a transcript, a sentence identifier of the transcript, and a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier sent by a service server.

In the present embodiment, the content version serial number received by the client may uniquely identify a transcription order of the transcript in a text transcribing process of corresponding current to-be-transcribed audio data, and may include ordered numbers, for example, a, b, c, . . . ; 1, 2, 3, . . . ; I, II, III, etc., or further include al least one other element such as letters, words, numbers and special symbols.

The service server may further set a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier while setting the sentence identifier for the transcript. An implementation of setting the content version serial number by the service server may be, for example, generating, according to the transcription order of the transcript in the text transcribing process of the current to-be-transcribed audio data, the content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier. it may be considered that the sentence identifiers of the transcript transcribed from the current to-be-transcribed audio data are the same, and a content version serial number of a transcript transcribed at this time may be generated according to a transcription order of the transcript transcribed at this time in the text transcribing process.

For example, for the audio data of the sentence “today's weather is really good”, transcript transcribed therefrom may be “today”, “today's weather”, “today's weather is really”, and “today's weather is really good” in sequence, and sentence identifiers corresponding to the above transcript are the same, however, a content version serial number of “today” transcribed at the first time may be set to Slice1; a content version serial number of “today's weather” transcribed at the second time may be set to Slice2; a content version serial number of “today's weather is really” transcribed at the third time may be set to Slice3; and a content version serial number of “today's weather is really good” transcribed at the fourth time may be set to Slice4.

S220, reading a local sentence identifier and a local content version serial number corresponding to the local sentence identifier.

In the present embodiment, the client may read the local sentence identifier from a local first preset storage space, and may read the local content version serial number from a local second preset storage space. When the size of the first preset storage space can satisfy storing both sentence identifiers and content version serial numbers, the first preset storage space may be used as the second preset storage space at the same time.

S230, when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, and the received content version serial number ranks behind the local content version serial number, updating a displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier and the content version serial number with the transcript.

In the present embodiment, when there is a same sentence identifier as the received sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier of the client, and the received content version serial number is ranked behind the local content version serial number of the same local sentence identifier (which may not include being equal to the local content version serial number), it may be considered that the previously received transcript of the same sentence identifier and the transcript received at this time correspond to audio data of a same sentence, and a transcription order of the transcript received at this time is lower than that of the transcript received at last time. At this time, the client may update a displayed caption content corresponding to the same local sentence identifier and the local content version serial number with the transcript.

In addition, when the sentence identifier received by the client is the same as the local sentence identifier and the received content version serial number is ahead of the local content version serial number, a caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier and the local content version serial number may not be updated. For example, assuming that the client receives “today's weather is really” corresponding to Slice3 after receiving “today's weather is really good” with a content version serial number Slice4 and dynamically updating display of captions, since Slice3 ranks ahead of Slice4, it is not necessary to update “today's weather is really good” with “today's weather is really” at this time, avoiding a situation of update errors.

S240, updating the local content version serial number corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the received content version serial number.

For each sentence identifier, the client stores the received first content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier in the second preset storage space; when receiving the second content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier, reads all content version serial numbers corresponding to the sentence identifier from the second preset storage space as the local content version serial number; and when the second content version serial number ranks behind all the local content version serial number, adds the second content version serial number in the second preset storage space to update the local content version serial number; when the second content version serial number ranks ahead of any local content version serial number (which may include being equal to the local content version serial number), the local content version serial number is not updated. After that, the above operation may be repeated every time when the client receives a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier, so as to realize an operation of updating or not updating the local content version serial number.

In the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, while receiving the transcript and the sentence identifier of the transcript sent by the service server, the client may further receive the content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier, and may display the transcript in captions with the sentence identifier and the content version serial number corresponding thereto. By updating a transcript corresponding to a content version serial number in an upper ranking with a transcript corresponding to a content version serial number in a lower ranking when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, the transcript corresponding to the top ranked content version serial number is updated by using the bottom ranked content version serial number, which may effectively avoid a situation that a caption update error is caused by updating a transcript in a lower ranking with a transcript in an upper ranking when the transcript in an upper ranking is sent to the client subsequently due to network delay and other reasons, further improving display effect of captions.

Third Embodiment

FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of an information processing method provided by a third embodiment of the present disclosure. The present embodiment may be combined with alternatives of each information processing method provided in the above embodiments. The information processing method provided by the present embodiment optimizes the caption dynamically displaying method when there are at least two groups of received transcripts and sentence identifiers, which may realize dynamic updating of a plurality of captions at the same time, and further improve display effect of captions.

As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing method provided by the present embodiment includes:

S310, receiving transcripts and sentence identifiers of the transcript sent by a service server, where there are at least two groups of received transcripts and sentence identifiers.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the service server may pull, according to a caption enabling request, at least two channels of audio data simultaneously uploaded by at least two clients among the client and other clients in interactive communication with the client from a streaming media server (that is, there are more than two speakers talking at the same time); and obtain transcripts in a text transcribing process of current to-be-transcribed audio data in the at least two channels of audio data respectively, and update sentence identifiers of the transcripts according to changes of at least two channels of current to-be-transcribed audio data. It may be considered that if there are at least two channels of current to-be-transcribed audio data, sentence identifiers may be set for the at least two channels of audio data respectively, without setting a sentence identifier updating mark when one channel of audio data is transcribed completely and updating according to the sentence identifier updating mark. At this time, the client may receive at least two groups of transcripts and sentence identifiers sent simultaneously or alternately by the service server, and then dynamically update display of at least two captions simultaneously according to the at least two groups of transcripts and sentence identifiers.

S320, reading a local sentence identifier, and determining whether there is a same sentence identifier as the local sentence identifier in the at least two received sentence identifiers.

In the present embodiment, the number of the local sentence identifier may be at least one, and the determining whether there is a same sentence identifier as the local sentence identifier in the at least two received sentence identifiers is namely determining whether there is an intersection between the at least two received sentence identifiers and the local sentence identifier.

S330, if so, updating a displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with a transcript corresponding to the same sentence identifier: and. displaying a transcript corresponding to a different sentence identifier as a new caption content.

In the present embodiment, if there is the same sentence identifier among the at least two sentence identifiers received by the client and the local sentence identifier, and the number of the same sentence identifier may be at least one, it may be considered that there is the transcript for updating the displayed caption content in the received transcript, and the displayed caption content corresponding to the same local sentence identifier may be updated with the transcript corresponding to the received same sentence identifier. At the same time, the transcript corresponding to the sentence identifier different from the local sentence identifier may be displayed as a new caption content. Therefore, in a situation, for example, when a previous speaker has not finished speaking, a new speaker starts to speak, and at least two speakers are speaking, a plurality of captions may be updated and displayed simultaneously.

S340, if not, displaying the received at least two transcripts as at least two new caption contents respectively.

In the present embodiment, if there is no same sentence identifier among the at least two sentence identifiers received by the client and the local sentence identifier, it may be considered that the received transcript and the displayed caption content do not belong to a same sentence, and at this time, the received at least two transcripts may be displayed as the at least two new caption contents respectively. Therefore, in a situation, for example, when a previous speaker finishes speaking, at least two new speakers start to speak at the same time, and the at least two speakers speak, a plurality of captions are updated and displayed at the same time.

S350, taking both the received at least two sentence identifiers as new local sentence identifiers.

In the present embodiment, if there is the same sentence identifier among the received at least two sentence identifiers and the local sentence identifier, a sentence identifier different from the local sentence identifier may be added to a first preset storage space, so that both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be used as new local sentence identifiers, If there is no sentence identifier identical to the local sentence identifier in the received at least two sentence identifiers, both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be added to the first preset storage space, so that both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be used as new local sentence identifiers.

In the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, when there are at least two groups of the received transcripts and sentence identifiers, after reading the local sentence identifier, the client determines whether there is a sentence identifier identical to the local sentence identifier in the received at least two sentence identifiers; if so, the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier is updated with the transcript corresponding to the same sentence identifier, and the transcript corresponding to a different sentence identifier is used as new caption contents; if not, the received at least two transcripts are displayed as at least two new caption contents respectively, and both the received at least two sentence identifiers are used as new local sentence identifiers. Dynamically updating a plurality of captions at a same time may be realized, and display effect of captions is further improved.

FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an information processing system provided in a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. In the information processing system provided by the present embodiment, through a. mutual cooperation between a service server and a client, it can be realized that in a real-time interactive scene, the service server may pull interactive audio data, obtain a transcript transcribed from the audio data. and generate a sentence identifier corresponding to the transcript; and the client dynamically updates and displays a caption content according to the received transcript and sentence identifier sent by the service server. The information processing system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure belongs to a same inventive concept as the information processing method provided by any embodiment of the present disclosure, and the above embodiments may be referred to for undisclosed technical details which may achieve same beneficial effects as the above embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing system provided by the present embodiment includes:

a service server 410. configured to pull audio data in response to a caption enabling request sent by a client 420, obtain a transcript of current to-be-transcribed audio data in the audio data during a text transcribing process, and update a sentence identifier of the transcript according to a change of the current to-be-transcribed audio data; and

the client 420, configured to receive the transcript and the sentence identifier of the transcript sent by the service server 410; read a local sentence identifier, and when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier, update a displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a caption enabling request sent by the client may carry an identity identifier representing the client or an identifier representing a real-time interactive room such as a conference room and a live room where the client is located, and the service server may pull audio data uploaded by the client and other clients interacting with the client from the streaming media server according to the above identifier.

The service server may send the audio data to a real-time speech transcribing tool, so that the real-time speech transcribing tool segments audio data based on an ASR technology, to determine audio data corresponding to each sentence, and can also take audio data corresponding to a to-be-transcribed current sentence as current to-be-transcribed audio data, and perform a text transcribing operation on the current to-be-transcribed audio data which can output an intermediate transcription result; the service server obtains a transcript transcribed from the current to-be-transcribed audio data from the real-time speech transcribing tool, and the obtained transcript includes a transcript of the current to-be-transcribed audio data in a transcribing process and a transcript of complete transcription.

After obtaining the transcript, the service server may further set a sentence identifier for the transcript, and the sentence identifier may uniquely identify audio data corresponding to each sentence in a specific real-time interactive scene, and may be composed of at least one element such as letters, words, numbers, and special symbols. A process of setting the sentence identifier corresponding to the transcript by the service server may be: updating the sentence identifier of the transcript according to a change of the current to-be-transcribed audio data. The service server may send the sentence identifier of the transcript to the client at the same time as the transcript.

The implementation of setting the sentence identifier by the service server may be, for example: when text transcription of the current to-be-transcribed audio data is completed, setting an updating mark of the sentence identifier; and when a transcript of new current to-be-transcribed audio data in a text transcribing process is obtained, updating the sentence identifier according to the updating mark, and canceling the updating mark when the sentence identifier is updated completely. In addition, when the transcript of the new current to-be-transcribed audio data is obtained from a subsequent transcription in the text transcribing process, it is not necessary to update the sentence identifier. In addition, when the obtained transcript corresponding to the new current to-be-transcribed audio data is also transcript of complete transcription, the sentence identifier may be updated according to the updating mark, and the updating mark may be kept.

When there is a plurality of clients that send the caption enabling request, the service server may generate an initial sentence identifier for a certain client when obtaining a first transcript requested by the client for each client after receiving the caption enabling request sent by each client, and set a sentence identifier of the transcript according to a transcript obtained subsequently and requested by the client. it may be considered that the service server may maintain relationships between each client and a sentence identifier corresponding to the client, and may send the sentence identifier corresponding to each client to a corresponding client, so as to ensure that the service server can provide a caption display service function for a plurality of clients at the same time.

The client can store the sentence identifier received for the first time in the local first preset storage space; when the sentence identifier is received for the second time, all the sentence identifiers read from the first preset storage space can be used as local sentence identifiers; when the second received sentence identifier is the same as any sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier, the local sentence identifier is not updated; when the second received sentence identifier and each sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier are different, the second received sentence identifier can be added to the first preset storage space to update the local sentence identifier. After that, the above operation may be repeated every time when the client receives a sentence identifier, so as to realize an operation of updating or not updating the local sentence identifier.

The client may read the local sentence identifier from the first preset storage space after receiving the transcript and the sentence identifier sent by the service server. When the sentence identifier received by the client is the same as the local sentence identifier, it may be considered that the transcript of the same sentence identifier previously received by the client arid the transcript received at this time correspond to audio data of a same sentence. At this time, the client may update the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier which is identical with the received sentence identifier with the received transcript. In addition, when the sentence identifier received by the client is different from the local sentence identifier, it may be considered that the transcript previously received by the client and the transcript received at this time are transcripts transcribed from audio data of different sentence, at this time, the client may display the received transcript as a new caption content and update the local sentence identifier with the received sentence identifier. The updating displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript includes replacing the displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the transcript,

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the service server is further configured to: generate, according to the transcription order of the transcript in the text transcribing process of the current to-be-transcribed audio data, the content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier.

Correspondingly, the client is further configured to: read a local content version serial number corresponding to the local sentence identifier; when the received sentence identifier is the same as the local sentence identifier and the received content version serial number ranks behind the local content version serial number, replace a displayed caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier and the content version serial number with the transcript; and update the local content version serial number corresponding to the local sentence identifier with the received content version serial number.

In the present embodiment, the service server may further set a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier while setting the sentence identifier for the transcript. An implementation of setting the content version serial number by the service server may be, for example, generating, according to the transcription order of the transcript in the text transcribing process of the current to-be-transcribed audio data, the content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier. It may be considered that the sentence identifiers of the transcript transcribed from the current to-be-transcribed audio data are the same, and a content version serial number of a transcript transcribed at this time may be generated according to a transcription order of the transcript transcribed at this time in the text transcribing process.

For each sentence identifier, the client stores the received first content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier in the second preset storage space; when receiving the second content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier, reads all content version serial numbers corresponding to the sentence identifier from the second preset storage space as the local content version serial number; and when the second content version serial number ranks behind all the local content version serial number, adds the second content version serial number in the second preset storage space to update the local content version serial number; when the second content version serial number ranks ahead of any local content version serial number (which may include being equal to the local content version serial number), the local content version serial number is not updated. After that, the above operation may be repeated every time when the client receives a content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier, so as to realize an operation of updating or not updating the local content version serial number.

When there is a sentence identifier that is the same as the received sentence identifier in the local sentence identifier of the client, and the received content version serial number is ranked behind the local content version serial number of the same local sentence identifier (which may not include being equal to the local content version serial number), it may be considered that the previously received transcript of the same sentence identifier and the transcript received at this time correspond to audio data of a same sentence, and the transcription order of the transcript received at this time is lower than that of the transcript received at last time. At this time, the client may update a displayed caption content corresponding to the same local sentence identifier and the local content version serial number with the transcript. In addition, when the sentence identifier received by the client is the same as the local sentence identifier and the received content version serial number is ahead of the local content version serial number, a caption content corresponding to the local sentence identifier and the local content version serial number may not be updated.

In the information processing system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the service server pulls the audio data in response to the caption enabling request sent by the client, obtains the transcript of the to-be-transcribed audio data in the audio data. in the text transcribing process, and updates the sentence identifier of the transcript according to changes of the to-be-transcribed audio data, so that the client can dynamically update and display the caption content according to the received transcript and sentence identifier. By setting different transcripts obtained in the process of transcribing the current to-be-transcribed audio data to a transcript with a same sentence identifier, the service server may instruct the client to update the displayed caption content with the transcript received subsequently for the same current to-be-transcribed audio data It can be realized that, in a process of sending the transcript transcribed from audio data of a same sentence by the service server, the client displays the caption when the first intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received and dynamically updates the caption content corresponding to the sentence when the subsequent intermediate transcription result of the sentence is received, which not only realizes dynamically displaying the captions of each sentence, but also reduces the latency delay of displaying the captions of each sentence, and improves the user experience.

In addition, the service server may further update the content version serial number corresponding to the sentence identifier while updating the sentence identifier, so that the client can further update a transcript of a content version serial number in an upper ranking according to that in a lower ranking, which may avoid a situation that a caption update error is caused by updating a transcript in a lower ranking with a transcript in an upper ranking when the transcript in an upper ranking is sent to the client subsequently due to network delay and other reasons.

Fifth Embodiment

Therefore, in a situation, for example, when a previous speaker has not finished speaking, a new speaker starts to speak, and at least two speakers are speaking, a plurality of captions may be updated and displayed. simultaneously.

If there is no sentence identifier which is identical with the local sentence identifier in the at least two sentence identifiers received by the client, it may be considered that the received transcript and the displayed caption content do not belong to a same sentence, and at this time, the received at least two transcripts may be displayed as the at least two new caption contents respectively. Therefore, in a situation, for example, when a previous speaker finishes speaking, at least two new speakers start to speak at the same time, and the at least two speakers speak, a plurality of captions are updated and displayed at the same time.

In the present embodiment, if there is the same sentence identifier among the received at least two sentence identifiers and the local sentence identifier, a sentence identifier different from the local sentence identifier may be added to a first preset storage space, so that both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be used as new local sentence identifiers. If there is no sentence identifier identical to the local sentence identifier in the received at least two sentence identifiers, both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be added to the first preset storage space, so that both the received at least two sentence identifiers may be used as new local sentence identifiers.

In the information processing system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the service server may pull the at least two channels of audio data in response to the caption enabling request sent by the client, obtain the transcripts of the to-be-transcribed audio data in the at least two channels of audio data in the text transcribing process, and update the sentence identifiers of the transcripts according to changes of the at least two channels of to-be-transcribed audio data, so that the client can dynamically update and display a plurality of caption content simultaneously according to the received at least two groups of transcripts and sentence identifiers.
